It rained a little last night. When I got up this morning to feed the animals and make the coffee the air was moist, cool, and clean, and I could see in the faint pre-dawn light ten thousand little puddles resting on every surface outside. And even though we’d slept through the rain, I could still hear its echo in the droplets that were popping in the soil as they fell from the canopies of our trees. It was a magical moment, and fortunately for me I wasn’t on the clock, so there was no reason not to just stop and breathe it in.“Just stop and breathe it in,” has become a kind of mantra for me. I’m a fairly contemplative guy so it probably always has been a priority, but I’m getting better at it all the time.Last night the last thing Tina and were doing before bed was booking flights and rental cars and accommodations for a trip we’re making in the Fall. We plan to take the first couple of weeks in October and spend it driving around Vermont in a pick-up truck—hiking through the woods as the leaves change color, drinking hot cider, canoeing on glassy ponds, wandering through picturesque New England villages and everything else one could and should do when visiting to ground zero of Autumn in America.I was thinking about those plans as I stood breathing in that magical moment this morning in my own backyard, and in a moment of great gratitude and appreciation I couldn’t help but say to myself, “Well, Vermont will have to raise the bar pretty high to beat this.”Today I am grateful for both the ability to travel to beautiful places and to live in a beautiful place, but mostly for living in a beautiful place and learning to take the time to just stop and breathe it in. And I’m proud of Tina and I for the life we’ve chosen that makes appreciating the beauty around us a daily priority. I would encourage anyone looking to improve their life in significant ways not to worry about whether you can afford to travel to distant places, but rather to work harder at breathing in this place. Big events are lovely, but big events do not make a beautiful life. Life is always hidden in the power of the small, the simple, the close at hand. God truly is in the details. The masters of this life are those who’ve learned to stop and breathe them in. Those who make the little things the most important things.The writer Annie Dillard wrote, “How we spend our days, of course, is how we spend our lives.”It bears repeating …How we spend our days is how we spend our lives.How we spend our days is how we spend our lives.My day is off to a good start. I hope yours is too. It’s Spring. The rain has past. The clouds have given way to soft, warm sunlight. Magic is all around you. If you want it inside you then you’ll need to stop and breathe it in. I hope you do. Because I believe it’s just about the only truly lasting way to build yourself a beautiful life.

Two words have been on my mind a lot lately: attention and intention. In fact, I can’t think of two words more important to me right now than attention and intention. Why? Because this world we’re living in is too much. I don’t mean that in the “I can’t take it anymore” sense (although sometimes, maybe I do). I mean it quite literally and historically. For the first time in over two million years of human history there’s just way too much.We have cute initials for it - TMI - too much information. That’s what life in our world has become. An endless stream of information vying for our attention from everywhere all the time. Not just information, too much information.Don’t get me wrong, I love information. I think it’s pretty obvious to any student of history that for tens of thousands of years humanity has suffered greatly from not having enough of it. But we have a lot of it now, and we’re learning now that information is like calories. As hungry as we may be, we only need so much, we can only handle so much, and we need the right kind.You know the human body stores fat so quickly because for millions of years work has been hard and calories have been sparse. Now, work is easier, calories are everywhere, and it all happened so quick that our bodies still think we’re in food supply version 1.0. But the biggest problem with calories today? Most of them are cheap and most of them are junk. So now we don’t die thin and malnourished, we die fat and malnourished. We’re dying of TMC—too many calories. So, when it comes to calories, for the first time in human history we have to pay attention. And, when it comes to burning calories, for the first time in our history we have to be intentional.And the same is true with TMI - too much information. Yes, there’s still plenty more to learn but, like calories, for the first time in human history there’s information coming at us from everywhere and, like most calories, most of that information isn’t helping.Now I’m not here judging what information is TMI for you. It’s different for all of us. But what I do know is there’s just too much of it for any of us to handle and thrive. And so, I come back to those two words—attention and intention. I’m convinced that if we are to survive this new state of information abundance we must learn when and where to give it our attention, and we must be more intentional about the information we’re seeking.If you really think about it the world is truly, actually, honestly, no worse off now than it’s ever been, and in many ways it’s better than ever. How then are we more depressed, more confused, more riddled with anxiety than ever? I’ll tell you how. Lack of attention and intention that leads to TMI. TMI anxieties are the Type 2 diabetes of the information age. So many of our illnesses are diet related. Too many calories. Too much information. Too much of the wrong stuff.I don’t have any other answers for you on this. I’m still just beginning to work it all through myself. But hopefully this thought nudges and encourages you to take a look, maybe start to filter more, focus more, and give more attention and intention to building yourself a beautiful life.
